Ain’t no party like a 30 Rock gif party, because a 30 Rock gif party is MANDATORY

As you must know by now — because I won’t shut up about it — 30 Rock‘s finale is tonight, and I am none too happy. Yes, yes, it’s time to let go, we don’t want it to become another How I Met Your Mother, I know. I KNOW. But it doesn’t mean I don’t want to climb into a Snuggie and drown my sorrows in a huge bag of Sabor de Soledads. (Which I am going to be doing tonight, just so we’re all clear.)

There is plenty to be written about 30 Rock, from the improbability of it lasting for 7 seasons (in part thanks to a fractured television market; in part thanks to an NBC whose ratings were so far in the tank that it had nothing to lose by allowing 30 Rock to stay on the air), to the show’s influence on other sitcoms (particularly ones featuring or created by women), to the fascinating and non-sexual interpersonal dynamic between Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy (which is something of a comedic analogue to the Don Draper/Peggy Olson relationship on Mad Men), to its commentary on and satire of the television business as a whole, to the exploration of what it really means to try to maintain one’s ideals (feminist or otherwise) while also juggling the whole work/life balance…

There is plenty to be written, but instead let’s just look at some funny gifs.

Here are 30 30 Rock gifs: 29 funny ones, and 1 surprisingly sentimental one. (Which also happens to be roughly the show’s proportion of laughs to sincerity during its run.)
